It's that time again – the Week 4 report for our Power Buds competition, and let me tell you, it's been an exciting week of growth and cultivation! Our verdant companion, Jelousy, has been flourishing like a botanical superstar. Now, let's dive into a decision I made this week – the transplantation. While some may opt for the instant gratification of planting directly into their final pots, I've chosen the path less traveled. Jelousy has been gently ushered into a larger pot, not yet her final abode. Why, you ask? Well, let's talk roots! Transplanting into a larger but not final pot is like giving our plant a roomier apartment without handing her the keys to the mansion just yet. It encourages the development of a robust root system, allowing Jelousy to establish a solid foundation for future growth. It's the horticultural equivalent of laying down the groundwork for a skyscraper. And speaking of roots, let's chat about the magic touch we've added during the transplant – the Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. This isn't just any mix; it's a microbial powerhouse that works wonders beneath the soil surface. Picture it as the unseen orchestra in the symphony of plant growth. The mycorrhizal fungi in Aptus Holland Mycor Mix form a symbiotic relationship with the plant roots. They extend the root system, enhancing nutrient and water absorption, while the plant provides the fungi with sugars. It's a harmonious dance of give-and-take, resulting in a healthier and more resilient plant. Applying this mix during transplanting is like giving Jelousy a team of loyal assistants, working tirelessly to ensure she receives the nutrients she needs to thrive. It's nature's collaboration at its finest. Now, let's talk visuals! I've prepared a mini video report showcasing the awe-inspiring beauty of Jelousy. Her leaves are lush, her stems are sturdy, and those roots—oh, those roots—are reaching for greatness. Check out the video link to witness the botanical magic in action. As we soak in the visual feast, let's extend our heartfelt gratitude to Zamnesia and Plagron for making this journey possible. Their support is the compass guiding us through the green wilderness. And, of course, a round of applause for the incredible Grow Diaries community. Your shared passion and knowledge create an atmosphere of growth and learning. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to thrive, and your dreams of a flourishing harvest come to fruition. Here's to a week of roots reaching deep, leaves stretching high, and the joy of watching our botanical companions flourish. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of .

6.4.25: FastBuds Mystery Seed #1: She has been topped twice and is looking pretty strong 💪 She has grown vertically, and leaves are always praying. Possibly too much light, so I have turned the dimmer down to about 90%. There are slight bleached tips on a couple of top leaves. I'm hoping to do the same LST with garden wire here very soon. Overall, the plant has nice big, fat leaves. Seemingly lush colour and vigorously growing since the double toppings. Very nice plant so far. 👌 13.4.25: This week has been so busy in the garden! I forgot to take any notes, so I'll see what I can do from memory! 😅 14.4.25: I have been super busy with all the other harvests in the past several days, so this is a little late. FastBuds Mystery seed #1 has been topped twice and the growth has been thick and lush. I watered several times this week, and I used Ecothrive Biosys with dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I watered about 2 litres to each plant. I have been using wire, clips, and Bio stretch fabric plant ties to LST the plant. The plant has reached the 8 Gallon pot perimeter. The plant is in the first week of flower. I'm hoping to keep the canopy even with my RQS Northern Lights grow as I need to be able to compare the plants accurately for the experiments. I did snap off a branch, again the day after I said I'd be very careful 😖 The plant is very resilient though, and you wouldn't know anything happened at all, minus one of the first tops is missing. Thankfully I topped twice, so I still have 5 tops. Training Techniques used this week are LST and defoliation. I watered on 13th and 14th with the following solution; 4 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 which contained: ♡ 8 ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids ♡ 1/2 Teaspoon Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients. PPM: 1000. 2 litres were given on two consecutive days. I watered in a top dress, which I will add what I used here, but it was another mess up, I'm sure you'll be surprised to hear 😅 Top dress: 4 gallons containing approximately: 50% Canna Terra Mix soil 25% Worm Castings 23% Perlite 2% Organic Dry Amendments, which were; ☆ Ecothrive Life Cycle ☆ Ecothrive Charge ☆ Diatomaceous Earth ☆ Ground Cinnamon ☆ RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules I used the top dress amount for established plants for a pot size of 30L / 8 Gallons. I'm not keen on the soil. I was supposed to get Canna Coco but I got sent Canna Terra in error. It was overdue for a top dress and I had nothing else to use. I don't like it in comparison. Coco is best for my needs. It's much fluffier, lighter, and easier to work with. Thanks for hanging out 🍃 ✌️ 💚 🙂

Weathers been great, a little cold in the mornings, but sunny and 25c every day. Flowering looking great, close to week 5. All the LST done, now to just sit back and wait. Heavy top dress of compost mixed with 70/30 Gaia Green PB/AP (20Tbsp). Weekly spray of BT/Lactobacillus/Epsom, occasionally soil drench of Lactobacillus as well, which is 50% molasses (1-2 Tbsp per gallon). Still seeing tons of moth / caterpillar eggs on mesh netting, but the wasps are making short work of them. Nice even (almost) canopy is making for some great uniform flowering. **Bonus last picture** I had an extra GC FF as a "backup", planted same time but early flowered due to root bound 7 gallon I assume, notice all the single bladed fan leaves, stress maybe? Just harvested, looks good, but I'm sure my main plant will be much better.. Early flowering was sure nice.

All went very well this week. She is drinking like crazy and reservoir needs to be changed almost every 4 - 5 days. he buds slowly start getting frosty and I hope that they will fill up the internodal spacing nicely.

Just started to give them full dose of cal mag, mammoth p and recharge. Their leaves got a dark green shiny, yellow tips and curling down, I think my ppms are too high and I will start flushing it out to 1500. I am growing in organic and only feeding cal mag, mammoth p, molasses, recharge and every other week a compost tea with living soil girl flower power full dose. Ph Is around 6.7 and giving it 6.5. Hopefully the next time they are read for a flush I’ll fix these.

Trotting along in week 2. Exited to be smoking on this beauty again.

Ready

I forgot to add and mention that I also used to Ching and Beastie Bloom as well as open sesame been growing for 5 years and only use Fox Farm nutrients every crop was successful ask for fast Bud genetics well that auto speak for itself big and potent my get off work smoke night night 25% THC or somewhere in that range but it's potent

Day 50: Added one gallon of pH 6.5 water with nutrients. Plant looking healthy. Continuing to try LST but the tent stakes are not wanting to stay in the soil. Going to get some soft plant ties and begin pinning to the smartpot. Forgot to take pictures. Day 51: Maybe approaching flowering? Day 52: Looking good. She's getting real thirsty. Day 53: Pretty Day 54: Added a gallon of water with nutrients, Man she's getting thirsty. Day 55: Posted timelapse but no glamour shots Day 56: Added one gallon of pH 6.5 water without nutrients.

2024-06-08 INDOOR: After the training is complete, i placed her into the Floweringroom Yesterday. She drinks alot around 2l every day, and i may have to fertilise soon, we will see, because i added athick layer if INSECTFRASS on the surface. OUDOOR The weather turned to very hot and humid- perfect for the Plant, she had a super Progress. Afghanistan / Brazil Type: Indica/Sativa Flowering: 63 Days THC: 29% Harvest: 1000 g/m2 Height: 150-205 cm Rating: Divine Seeds developed Opium as a new champion strain, unprecedently powerful and loaded with unbelievable quantities of resin. Certainly, no average genetic base could be behind such brilliant parameters! Several Afghani Indica landraces, recognized as most potent and resinous, were bred together with a mighty Brazilian Sativa which Opium inherits its bright berry taste from. Then a great deal of work followed aiming for the highest THC level and endurability as well as a branchy structure that would provide maximal yields. Now we can proudly title Opium the best Indica you could dream of growing! Indoors these plants mostly stay mid-height (1.5 m), reaching up to 2.0 m out of doors. Depending on your height limitations, Opium flourishes universally in grow boxes, balconies, green houses and terraces. Due to its Afghani parentage, this strain can stand hot weather if provided enough water and some shadow. Responds well to any training techniques: ScroG and SoG, LST, topping and FIM, supercropping. The start of blooming is marked with a rush of growth, when plants stretch almost 1.4x. Expect heavy colas that often require additional supports. Whilst ripening, Opium gives off a pungent earthy stench with fruity and berry undertones, also a bit of pine. Ready for outdoor harvesting in October. The stoning psychedelic impact of Opium is like being hypnotized (unless you’ve had too much, then it feels more like a blackout). Stone-lovers will appreciate every minute with Opium: its spicy taste immerses your mind into daydreaming, while the body rests flat. Recreation with this psychedelic Indica means silent tripping from one insight to another. Mighty enough to kill chronical pains, Opium is also medically efficient against insomnia, nausea, appetite disorders, muscle spasms, headaches, irritation, fatigue, panic attacks, epilepsy. Best consumed at night time, the effects keep going for up to 4 hours.

Week 2 of flower 👍🏾

Another week on the Gorilla, she is forming bud, but real irregular and she seems to not fill out like she is supposed to. The plant is way smaller than her roommates too, in this case thankfully cause this will compensate a little for the loss of total weight she will cause. I had made a video but decided not to put it up, with too much strong language and questions of the integrity of the third-party seed bank in question. Remember that Expert seeds probably cant help this much, except not dealing with third parties messing up their good name. Well enough words for an so far underperforming plant. We did as much magic as we could, I think Im lucky if she yields 30 grams, lowering my total and average gram per watt score so thanks...

Welcome to week 10. First trichome pics coming in. one BPP seems to be getting there, rest is still 1-2 weeks out, my estimate right now, might change in the future. No watering as of yet, problably next on 16/04. Watered on 16/04., 1.5L, 5.7PH 1.5 EC, 5ml/L Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation Watered the two BPPS only on 18/05, 1.5L, 5.7PH 1.7EC, Same nutes Trichomes on all seem to ambering up, but still a bit to go. Closely monitoring their progress.

These girls are blowing up and have filled the 3x3 tent no problem.They are in 3 gal fabric pots so I’m hoping to keep them short as possible with scrog net along with some training and defoliation this week.I can see this grow producing lots of buds and I’m debating on adding a second sf1000 to the tent to give them another 100 watts.

After 1 week of flush the plant start to fade gently, i hope that gonna be good before harvest. I think my additives tend to keep my plant green, both contain seaweed extract and are slow release. There is a little bit of nice fox tailing.

Hi everybody ! ! Its flo week 8. Hot temperatures comin back but only for few days. The lady flowering well. Buds continue to grow. Ive stoped nutrients and will flush her 10 or 14 days. Stay tune ! !

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had partly cloudy skies, low humidity, and temps in the lower 80's. I watered about .25 gallons from the water hose. Day 2 we had lite showers in the morning, partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 80's the remainder of the day. Day 3 we had showers in the early morning until afternoon. Then it was mostly sunny with high temperature around 79. Day 4 we had thunderstorms and rain in the morning, then rain and drizzle intermittently throughout the day. High temperature for the day was 71°. Day 7

Ok
